I didn’t realize how crazy wedding planning is less than 2 months out. I’m excited but I feel like there’s so much that needs to come together. Anyways, I plan on writing tomorrow, so hopefully will have the new chapter ready soon!
So happy for you! Hope everything goes just how you want it to🖤
New chapter is up <3
How is everyone’s weekend?? I’ll have a new chapter of ‘Trouble, She Comes’ up either tonight or tomorrow!
@ghostybae_ ahh I hate coconut so not up my alley haha but it’s always fun trying new flavors though! Chocolate chess pie is yummy
@lenaf327 the place called it “Coconut Chess”. It was weird, and didn’t taste like coconut, but it was alright
@ghostybae_ I’m so glad!! Ooh what kind?
Getting over a stubborn head cold but new chapter will be published tomorrow <3
Jk tomorrow because I have a pounding headache from being congested lol
Life update: I quit my toxic, hell hole of a job! I feel so incredibly relieved. Definitely was sad saying goodbye to some of the kiddos, but I have to put myself first. Tuesday was my last day and I just flew back home to the states yesterday. Have some wedding stuff this weekend but then I’m free to write and publish more chapters! Thanks for the patience <3
Hey, can you do me a favor? Can you ask @solar_fIare to check if she accidentally blocked or muted me? I really enjoyed interacting with her and all the sudden I can’t. It would be a really big help!
I’m glad it was figured out and she responded!! If not, I would’ve messaged to help out :)
i didn't block or mute you! that's so weird!
Hopefully new chapter of Trouble will be out in the next few days!
This last week at my job has been so draining and emotional, it’s not even funny. I sobbed in my car the second I got off Thursday. I love working with children, but the center I’m at is bare bones with staffing and management is just a shit show. I had asked for less hours but instead, got thrown into more. I got hit/smacked 4x within the span of 2 days and management didn’t support me at all. My heart hurts at the thought of leaving behind the kids, but I think I need to quit. My wedding is in 3 months, so I should be enjoying the time leading up to that (and taking all the time I need to plan) instead of feeling like a zombie every week.
I miss having the time and energy to write!! This position has been taking away from it, and I’d love nothing more than to get chapters out quicker.
Anyways—thanks for coming to my TED talk lol
@lenaf327 ofc! <3
@ghostybae_ exactly! And so many parents drop their kids off for like 10 hours, even if they don’t need to. I get it’s much harder being stationed here in Germany and unpredictable army schedule, but a lot aren’t using positive guidance and boundaries to influence their child’s development in a good way. And thankfully we are good with my husband’s income only since the army covers housing/utilities, but trying to put as much money into savings as possible. I definitely think I’m going to! Just focus on me for a bit and as you said, put myself first. Thank you <3
I’m so sorry! That must suck ass.
The real problem isn’t the kids, it’s the parents. They’re not raising them not to hit or smack, not giving punishments for bad behavior, and it’s affecting our educators and caretakers, like with you.
If you feel quitting is the right thing to do, then I’d do it, so long as you have a back up plan for job/money!
Sometimes you have to put yourself first
Chapter 76 of Trouble is up! I haven’t edited it yet since I’ve been sick the last week and my brain is still a little foggy. Will work on the next chapter tomorrow. Hope everyone is having a good weekend :)
Hi everyone!! Chapter 75 of ‘Trouble, She Comes’ is now published :) please go check it out! Will publish chapter 76 later this week as well since my works hours are less
Well my new job has hindered my writing time and energy sadly. I applied for part time but got hired as a flex employee, so I’ve been working 9 hour shifts since they are so short staffed. It’s been insanely draining and frustrating the first 3 weeks, but hoping it will improve.
Anyways, I’m like 85% done with the next chapter. 18 more hours of work to go before the weekend, so the next update should be then! Hope everyone is having a good Wednesday so far <3
@ghostybae_ see I love working with children but it is so trying sometimes. Today was somehow worse but thankful for the weekend lol! Time to decompress and hopefully it’s better next week
@lenaf327 omg I could never ToT I borderline hate children. Thank you for your service o7
@ghostybae_ that’s the plan! I work at what’s basically a daycare…I got bit, kicked, and my hair pulled a ton yesterday lol. Gotta love it but want the money for sure!
